Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 November 2009

Research Student from the University of Western Australia at the Department of Parasitology, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

Extract

The activity, infectivity and fat content of ageing infective larvae of Ancylostoma caninum were investigated at regular intervals.

The reduction in activity and fat content was found to occur at a similar rate.
